Don't know if this goes here. Have acquired a set of Markland passenger foot boards and looking for mounting instructions.

Those are a set of highway boards for the rider that mount to the engine crash guards and not passenger floorboards.

Brian - thought so myself; however, the mounting bracket is too long to fit the engine guards. Guess I'm into plan "B".

Those appear to be for a 1500, and/or possibly an 1800 to me.

The brackets definitely fit the 1200 rear guard. Not for an 1800 - checked mine. Not for a 1500, checked pictures on the net.
Looked at pictures on the net of 1200s, and Markland foot boards. You think there would be "one" that would give a person insight into the install, but no.
Still looking.

If they fit the 1200 rear guards, then the floorboards would be rotated 90 degrees from normal and also elevated more than usual. Could it be that those are a custom made pair for the rear guards?
Do the upright pieces come apart like the engine guard version does?

The upright pieces come apart just like the engine guards. It's the orientation of the foot boards that has me stumped.
How does the foot rest attach to the upright?

Pictures to follow.

Here are some pictures of the foot boards.
Length of guard attachment:

Foot Board profile:
Temp foot board install:
Foot Board orientation:
It is the foot board orientation that has me stumped. Think it should be like the OEM. Is there a piece missing? Any insight would be appreciated.

hmmmmm ive never seen that before
No Ernest, I don't think anything is missing. I recall seeing a picture of those once before (may have been the same set) and thinking that the board is the wrong way. I assumed then, and now, that they are a modified set for a shorter passenger... possibly a child.

IMHO, those are highway boards for the driver. I have a very similar set on my 85I.

That's what I thought too... until he stated that the mounting bar was too long for the engine guard and only fit the saddlebag guard.

If you look at the one picture where I measured the attach bracket it is almost 8 inches long. The engine guard where the driver foot board(s) are attached in not more than 5 inches or so. I have a driver set on the bike.
Don't know what I am going to do with them now. Didn't cost that much. Thought these would be a good idea for my passenger over the home made risers I made. Will think about a possible solution.

Looks like a step for the passenger to mount the bike...
